Just say NO to Sweet Lou and trading A-Rod
Thank God the Yankees didn't hire Lou Piniella as a manager. I'd rather another year of a mediocre Joe Torre than 1 year of that spazztoid Piniella. Torre may not be the best thing for this team, but he's far from the worst. If this is his last year, I hope we can go out on top, but with the way the team seems to perform in the playoffs......I can't see that happening. Torre is a good guy, and I was pissed off at the thought of Stein making some asinine knee jerk reaction and firing him for something that was less his fault and more the team as a whole's fault. I think he could have given the team a little boost of motivation, but in the end....if the guys on the field don't perform, there's nothing he can do.
Now, as for trading A-Rod........DON'T F*CKING DO IT!!! What the **** is trading him going to accomplish? Prove that he can't hack it here and give his haters more reason to crawl up his *** and die? Make the Yankees look foolish when he goes to another team and tears it up? Please. We will never get anything of comperable value for him, he doesn't want to be traded and he'd have to waive his NTC in the first place to make anything happen.
Hmm...
I agree with you on Joe Torre part. the last thing Yankees need is Lou. He'll ruin Wang and Cano.
As for A-rod, I don't know, Beth, Are you sure this marriage is working for both party. I mean I love A-rod, but he's looking more and more like David Winfield to me.
just a thought.

A-Rod and Dave Winfield don't belong in the same sentence. I can't see this lack of playoff consistency lasting the duration of his career.

for yankees' sake, I hope not.
now the season is over. I hope that doesn't mean you'll stop writing about Yanks. Beth, you and Peter Abraham are two of my favorite blogger.

I would like the Yankees to keep A-Rod. He is too good of a player to get rid of, and unless there is some blockbuster deal that would get us a big name pitcher, then I can maybe see it happening. I would love to see A-Rod get a thicker skin and be more uncaring in terms of how he wants to be perceived by people. He is a great ball player and I want to see his best years in pinstripes.

Thanks. :-D I won't stop blogging about the team....whenever something big goes down or something of newsworthiness happens, I'll whine about it. :)

I can't fault him for being sensitive. I see nothing wrong with it, and wish others wouldn't see it as a character flaw. I think too many men are preconditioned to act macho and tough all the time, and not care when people hurt them. I actually like the fact that Alex is man enough to admit that all the booing and the insults got to him. It takes a big man to admit that someone else hurt you. I'm overly sensitive at times and can take a lot of things personally that I shouldn't, but I don't think that makes me a bad person or someone in need of a thicker skin. He's human, and he's going to react in a human way. I'd be more concerned if he acted like it DIDN'T bother him.
